    Amplitude-distance curves of P, S and L waves in Central Balkans for short and medium period seismographs

    No full text
    The basic principles for deriving the amplitude-distance curves or calibrating functions at short epicentral distances for the central part of the Balkan region are described. A procedure for unification of magnitude determinations for P, S and L waves is applied on the basis of the teleseismic surface wave magnitude scale. The results for short and medium period seismographs are presented.JCR Journalope

    Seismic hazard assessment for the Sofia area

    No full text
    The capital of Bulgaria, Sofia, is situated in the center of the so-called Sofia area. This is the most populated industrial and cultural region of Bulgaria that faces considerable earthquake risk. We apply a version of machine code EQRISK for hazard assessment of the Sofia area according to the Cornell-McGuire approach. The probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is based on a simplified seismogenic model, which is derived from seismic zoning of Bulgaria. We show, using a Monte Carlo approach, that uncertainties in seismic input have a relatively small effect on the PSHA output, especially when compared with uncertainties associated with the attenuation relationship. Our PSHA map shows that a 10–3 annual probability of the PGA exceeds 0.3 g in much of the Sofia areaJCR Journalope
